It seems like whenever KDE developers get together for a meeting or conference, great things happen. For instance, in the past we've seen developments such as the creation of DCOP (one of the building blocks of KDE), or thousands of fixes in only one short week. The recent KDE conference in Germany was no exception. One of the most notable outcomes of the conference was an impromptu project to port Mozilla to KDE.

As mentioned in the linked article, this is not the first attempt to integrate gecko in KDE. I really hope this one will be maintained and usable without a lot of tweeking needed. If this is the case, I'll be a user of this feature (swithing between khtml and gecko). Anyway, thanks for reviving the hope of using gecko in KDE apps :-)

You also have to consider the opposite. Gecko isn't a one-size-fits all solution. I was at a party with several Mac users a week ago, and they all admitted that they use Safari (KHTML) extensively because there are sites that it will render correctly that Camino or other Gecko based browser will not.

...is when people use it. As someone who has played with everything from OpenDoc to ActiveX, I have to say "KParts,DCOP,Qt Widget Plugins" are the most powerful, and flexible component systems out there. Also it sports the most important feature, IT'S EASY! I am sure in the next weeks well see some more bomb shells ;)
